[Menvi-discuss] My first Braille music student--helpful hints, please?

[Lee Strickland]

Hi Kimberly,

Good on you for taking this student on!

I would be more than happy to chat with you about different approaches to
teaching this young man.  I can also share with you some resources and
games I've made that I use with my younger students.

Feel free to email me off list if you would like to chat.

Warm regards,
Lee Strickland
